Les gaz à effet de serre possèdent des molécules complexes qui ont un spectre de «vibration-rotation», une capacité d'absorber de l'énergie, assez riche. Grossièrement, on peut écrire que leurs propriétés radiatives dépendent à la fois de la nature de la molécule et de sa concentration. 3, record 1, French, - propri%C3%A9t%C3%A9%20radiative
